Setting up a training space involves more than just arranging tables, chairs, a screen, and a projector.
To create an effective and suitable training environment, it’s crucial to consider various factors such as the room’s size, the number of students, the types of training being provided, and the educational objectives.
This is why it’s wise to enlist the services of an audiovisual integrator with the necessary experience. Motilde supports you in the layout and setup of your training spaces.
Training room design: factors to consider
Lighting
Good lighting, preferably natural supplemented by non-glaring artificial light, is necessary to reduce visual fatigue and maintain participants’ attention.
Room acoustics
Sound insulation and room acoustics should be optimized to prevent reverberations and ensure clear speech intelligibility.
Technology & equipment
Technological equipment should be tailored to the specific needs of the training (projector, interactive screen, sound system, reliable Wi-Fi connection, etc.).
Ergonomics and comfort
Ensuring the comfort of participants is crucial for facilitating focus and concentration.
Flexibility and modularity
The room should be adaptable to different types of training (lectures, group work, practical workshops, etc.) through modular furniture and flexible layout.
Training room: possible configurations
Traditional classroom: This is the most familiar layout, with rows of desks or tables facing the teacher or presenter. This setup favors a teacher-centered approach, where participants are primarily listeners
U-shaped training room: This configuration allows the facilitator to easily move among participants and facilitates interaction among them. It is ideal for workshops, seminars, and sessions where engagement and active participation are encouraged.
Computer Lab: Specially equipped with computers and technological equipment, this type of room is intended for teaching computer skills or for projects that require individual access to computers.
Modular training room: These rooms are designed to be easily reconfigured to meet various training needs, allowing for different arrangements such as work groups, discussion circles, or a theater layout for large presentations
Conference or seminar room: Larger and often equipped with comfortable seating and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, this setup is intended for conferences, seminars, and presentations to a large number of participants
Virtual training space: With the rise of online learning, these digital “rooms” allow participants to connect and learn remotely via video conferencing platforms, offering flexibility and accessibility.
Hybrid training room: This configuration represents an evolution in the world of training spaces, combining elements of a physical room with technology for remote participation. Equipped with advanced audiovisual systems, such as tracking cameras, high-quality microphones, and screens to display online participants, the hybrid room is designed to facilitate an integrated learning experience for both on-site and remote participants. This approach offers great flexibility, allowing trainers to reach a wider audience while maintaining effective interaction and collaboration among all participants, regardless of their location.
Each type of training room has its specific advantages and can be chosen based on the training objectives, the number of participants, the type of activities planned, and the need for certain technologies. Choosing the right learning environment is crucial for maximizing training effectiveness and ensuring a rewarding learning experience for all participants.

Setting up a training room can be a real challenge. It is important to take the time to think about your objectives and needs to avoid mistakes. Depending on the type of training you want to deliver, the equipment and layout required will be different. If the room is to be multi-purpose, you will need to opt for modular equipment. On the other hand, if you have a clear idea of how the training will be delivered, the equipment should be calibrated for that purpose.
